Night Swimming in August

The second edition of Serhii Osoka's book of short prose "Night Bathing in August" is supplemented with several new works that will definitely delight fans of his talent.

This book is the most convincing proof that we all come from childhood. In Serhii Osoka's short stories and pictures, the anatomy of a child's soul is dissected by an adult soul that has not yet become an adult but does not really want to. Hence the extreme, or even extreme, sincerity. The reader believes the narrator unconditionally - like a black-and-white photo from his own childhood. Because of all these apparently ordinary, traditional, everyday plots, the destinies and feelings of adults — relatives, fellow villagers, and "strangers" who are touched by children's sensitivity — are about everyone. And to everyone who remembers and cherishes the Child in himself - with his discoveries and amazement at the world, acute pain and disappointments, and primal love for life and people.
